Methodology

What’s our approach?

We have deliberately designed our programmes with an emphasis on FUN!
But what exactly does ‘fun’ mean and why is it important? After all, learning Mandarin is a serious business – isn’t it?

Do you remember the way you learnt Chinese when you were a child at school?
And do you remember how you felt about it? Did you dread your Chinese classes?

We don’t want children today to feel the same about Mandarin as we did when we were young. We want our students to LEARN it, LOVE it and LIVE it with appreciation, enjoyment and success. For that to happen, it’s important to maintain every student’s interest – every step of the way. That’s why all our lessons are consistently fun, interactive, and leave our students excited for more!

If as adults we find it difficult to remain attentive for an entire meeting, imagine what it’s like for a child listening to a lesson conducted in their second language! Designed to break away from the rigid way in which Mandarin is traditionally taught, our programmes put the emphasis on FUN! To ensure that every element of learning remains FUN, as well as ENGAGING, and most important of all EFFECTIVE, we use specially designed word games, drama techniques (including improvisation and role-play) and stimulating discussion sessions during which students are encouraged to share their thoughts and ideas. Our revolutionary methods, award winning curriculum and dedicated teachers have a proven track record of delivering results while igniting every student’s passion for learning the language.

EduGrove’s curriculum closely follows the Ministry of Education’s (MOE) syllabus for Chinese Language at both primary and secondary levels, ensuring plenty of familiarity with MOE designated keywords. In fact, our teaching team continually collates the latest exam papers from varying schools to ensure that commonly tested keywords are emphasised. Students – and parents – can look forward to improved results in school and feel confidently prepared for exams.

One of the key factors that sets us apart is our delivery. As experienced educators, we know from research that children learn best when they enjoy what they do, when they feel inspired by the people and environment around them, and when they are praised and encouraged along the way.

Our tried and tested tools to sparking curiosity and excitement, creative thinking and imagination and an enjoyment of learning, means students experience language in action, ensuring that the knowledge and skills they acquire are meaningful, relevant and most importantly, remembered long term. Through this interactive approach, learning Chinese and speaking Mandarin becomes second nature!
